Chapter 64 A Little Temptation
However, Richard was not angry, but happy, spat heavily, swung the holy sword hard, and said loudly: "This group of reapers, they can only send ten detachments now, next time it will be six, and next time and next time, we will attack their lair." โ
"Boss, maybe you'll hang up next time. โ
"That's it, let's get five more minutes of sleep. โ
Richard's impassioned exuberance was met with some sparse ridicule.
At this moment, there are only a few strong people who can respond to him, the combat units of the brood are first consumables in the war, and there is not much left at this moment, and the battle with the reapers continues to this day, all the strong people who are still alive have followed Richard to life and death I don't know how many times, the relationship between the two sides has long been no longer a simple lord and follower, but more like brothers who share life and death.
Five minutes of sleep was a luxury for Richard, and the battle always began with him and ended with him.
In order to save his comrades in the battle, Richard also used his body to block the Reaper's attacks for them more than once, Richard's body is strong, but any strong person knows that every time he heals a serious injury, it consumes his vitality.
At this time, Richard put the holy sword back into its sheath and said in a loud voice, "Get up, we will now go back to the king's capital to rest and replenish, and then go and send those reapers to hell." โ
He summoned the star chrysalis and messengers to come over, and watched the strong men board the star chrysalis and messengers one after another, and then stepped on his own special ultra-high-speed messenger and flew towards the royal capital at a speed of more than a thousand kilometers per hour.
This supply may be the most important supply before the end of the Reaper, because the latest Thor developed by Black Gold has arrived.
This Thor is no longer a six-tube, but changed to a parallel two-tube, although the speed of the shรจ has decreased, but the shรจ range and accuracy have been greatly increased, and at the same time, the complex power spinning system has been reduced, the difficulty and time of manufacturing have been greatly reduced, and the output has been increased by three times at once.
The most important innovation of this Thor is the bullet, which fires a special metal projectile, which is actually filled with the power metal of the Reaper, which is extremely powerful, and if it hits directly, it can explode the Reaper's small fighter, even if it is a medium-sized fighter, it can't take a few hits.
The significance of the new Thor to the war is indescribable, Richard has mobilized a hundred knights in the costume, hundreds of night jฤซng spirits are waiting to change their costumes, and the brood is even more straightforward, it has created an exclusive organ for a group of newly created worm-type flying warriors that can load the new Thor.
After Richard returned to the royal capital, the first thing he did was to ask people to bring a new Thor to check the actual effect, this is a huge murder weapon nearly two meters long, rough but extremely durable, and the two huge barrels are particularly eye-catching.
When Richard came to the magic real, he ordered people to place several Sanctuary-level humanoid targets a hundred meters away, and then raised Thor to aim at one of them, pulling the trigger.
After two loud roars, the humanoid target first deformed in a violent explosion, and then was torn apart by a second bullet.
Richard put down Thor, pleased with its power.
This guy can even hit a medium-sized fighter hard, the power is enough, the only fly in the ointment is that its recoil is too great, Richard estimates that a warrior below level fifteen can't use Thor at all, even if he is a knight, he must also rest after firing a few shots, otherwise most of them will be shocked.
But this is all a small problem, the appearance of the double-barreled Thor is a powerful supplement to the spear for the knights, and its power is indeed slightly inferior to the spear, but don't forget that Thor does not consume fighting energy, and the knights will alternate spears and Thor, and the continuation of the battle can be increased by at least half.
Richard was very satisfied, and said to the chief of armaments next to him: "Immediately change the troops, tell them to have half a day to get acquainted with these new fellows, oh, the projectiles are there, let them be real." โ
But the head of armaments had a difficult face and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, the number of Thor shipped this time is far from enough. โ
"Not enough, Black Gold said that he sent six hundred new Thor. โ
"But we received only a hundred, and the projectiles were only a third of the scheduled number, and it is said that the rest had an accident on the way. โ
"Unexpected. A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Richard's mouth, and he said slowly: "Interesting, accident, at this time, someone really dares to cause an accident for me, you come with me and tell me everything." โ
At this moment, outside an ancient and elegant castle, a young nobleman was playing with a new Thor, aiming at a humanoid target a hundred meters away, and tentatively pulling the trigger.
Boom, this shot was slightly off, but the violent explosion blew the humanoid target off the ground, the thunderous roar startled the young nobleman, he immediately calmed down, looked at the Thor in his hand, and aimed at the next target, this shot hit directly, and the humanoid target was blown into ashes on the spot.
The young man's face was complicated, and he sighed: "I really didn't expect that the Akmund family had developed such a sharp weapon, this thing is so powerful that it can bombard and kill the knights in armor, and sure enough, war is the mother of human progress." โ
An older mage next to him said with some concern, "Young Master, are we taking some risks this time?" โ
"Adventure, how could it be. The young nobleman chuckled lightly and said indifferently: "This is just a small temptation, look at Akmund's reaction, their reaction is too fierce or too gentle, it shows that the rumors are true, that is, their strength has been greatly weakened in the war, and it is even possible to lose this war with the reapers, even if Richard wants to track down, I am afraid that in a hurry, I am afraid that only those few substitutes who have been pushed out will be recovered."
He showed a smug smile, "Even if he finds our head, what can we do, at most we will go out with some new ones, this thing is called Thor, at most it is just to give him a part of Thor, I am the nephew of His Royal Highness Hattings, my uncle is now presiding over the offensive of the entire Twilight Lands, and has already laid down a new legion fortress, in this case, I don't think Richard dares to do anything." โ
The young nobleman's self-confidence was not contaminated with the old mage, and he still said worriedly: "But these thunder gods obviously have a great effect on Akmund's next war, I think"
The young man interrupted him and said, "In that case, then I can't give him these things, do you still want Akmund to win?" โ
The old mage sighed, knowing that it would be useless to persuade him any longer.
The young man asked, "By the way, what about the results of the research, this thing seems to be very easy to make, can we replicate it?" โ
The old mage shook his head and said, "There is encryption on its activation circle, but this can still be cracked slowly, or replaced by a self-designed magic circle, but most of its power comes from a special projectile, which contains a special metal, which is likely to be the power metal that Akmund snatched from the Reaper, we don't have power metal in our hands at all, and the power of the copied projectile is only one-third of the original." โ
Undisguised disappointment flashed on the young man's face: "One-third, then what's the use of us asking for it, isn't it scrap metal if we run out of ammunition, etc., Akmund should be transporting power metal to Deep Blue, you go check and see when the caravans sent by Akmund to Deep Blue will depart, which ones are carrying power metal, and we will rob a few more teams to come back." โ
"This is, young master. The old mage retreated helplessly.
When Richard returned to the floating island, he learned enough information in less than an hour.
Although this matter is a little complicated, it is absolutely impossible to hide the gray sรจ organizations that are all over Norland, and Akmund's heavy money is spilled, and the information immediately flies like snowflakes.
After hearing that Richard had returned, Turbidity also quietly came to the floating island and discussed with Richard for half an hour, and when Turbidity was gone, Richard had a clear outline of the whole thing.
The incident began when an inconspicuous little viscount near Yashan forcibly intercepted and inspected an Akmund cargo convoy passing through his territory.
The convoy happened to be transporting the first batch of new Thor, and the two sides clashed, killing hundreds of soldiers each, and eventually the convoy had to be inspected, and in the process, most of the Thor disappeared very 'unfortunately'.
This is also a common phenomenon found in mandatory inspections, but it rarely happens to a wealthy family of Akmund's level.
Of course, this is a ploy, and the information in Richard's hands at this moment shows that the shadow of Yaya Turan has appeared among the people involved, Yaya Tulan is a young earl of the Turan family, very ambitious and courageous, and the people involved in this matter also include the nephew of Hatins, as well as some important figures of the Northern Legion of the Holy Tree Dynasty.
Aceris was standing in his study at the moment, the Dark Priest was in charge of Akmund's affairs in Norland, and Ellie was in charge of military affairs.
Richard put down the information in his hand and said calmly: "This is a test to see if we have the confidence to win this war with the Reapers, whether the reaction is too strong or too mild, it shows our weakness, and it may lead to further action by those people." โ
Aceris nodded, "That's true, I've already prepared the following plans on how to respond appropriately."
"No, we don't need a proper response. Richard interrupted Asiris, then tapped his hand lightly on the desk, and said slowly: "These Thors are my important hole cards against the Reapers, whoever moves them is stepping on my red line, this, I think those smart gentlemen must be very clear, since they have done something beyond the bottom line, then we will also give them a response beyond the bottom line." โ
Aceris was startled.
